V&A East storehouse

There’s a new V&A museum that’s due to open in East London. Nearby they have opened to the public, their storehouse, a building that houses all the art pieces that are not officially on display. It’s right by where I work so I went to have a look. It has three floors with a wide range of beautiful and interesting art works.

They also have a huge mosaic ceiling saved from a church which is definitely worth a look.

The store house is free to visit and I like that what it holds will change as the displays in the main museums update theirs.

Local Street Art

Some street art has been commissioned by the local government to brighten up our streets. It was great to see the artwork coming into shape and the end results I think are brilliant. The artists are very talented and I will enjoy looking at their pieces when I pass them by.

1 Year and 76

It’s been one year since Israel’s genocide against Palestine began, an anniversary I prayed would never come. In truth though, it’s not one year, it’s been 76 since Palestinians have been killed and displaced off their land. There were 300,000 of us and more in London calling for a ceasefire for Palestine and now Lebanon and every oppressed people across the world. We won’t tire and we will use our voice to call for freedom, rights and dignity for all.

Colours of Spring

I love walking around and seeing all the flowers that awaken in Spring. All the different colours and shapes are beautiful in their own unique way. I came across these bushes with wonderful, vibrant colours and just had to take a closer look.

I love how the flowers have an ombre effect and have touches of difffernt colours.

Seeing all the bright colours makes my walk in the park all the more relaxing and enjoyable I find.
